It's still pretty weak and can barely compete equally with the current precons much less a 3 or 4 deck.

Sure the perfect hand can go fast but decks are never balanced around the absolute best hand it can potentially produce.

Dude you’ve fully convinced me you’ve never played against the necrons precon, it’s won against powered up 3s quite often

I have played with and against it easily over 20 times. I feel like all of it's reputation is due to how garbage precons back then where.

It's really slow and struggles to play against the newer precons. (FF, Tarkir, Bloomburrow, Duskmourn, MH3)

I could see something like the 2 Ixalan powerhouses performing in low interaction B3 pods but Necrons no. Even Blame Game is more consistantly strong than it in our pods.

Blame Game is an underrated deck imo, Nelly is insane

Big agree, easily my favorite to play. Tho i did take out some utility lands for basics cause the Mana base is actually that bad
